Tallahassee, Fl - release party at Fermentation Lounge, on tap. Dark brown pour, murky, off-white head. Aroma is pretty much neutral, perhaps some grainy notes. Flavor has some accents of dates, a bit of chocolaty sweetness and a back end nuttiness. Medium-thick body. Overall, decent.

First to rate! 7/20/11. On tap in a wine glass at the brewery release! Clouded deep brown pour with ruby hints and a nice tan head that cuts to a film but sticks and laces a little bit. The aroma seems pretty "on" for an English beer... a touch tart, some jammy grapes, green apples, seltzer water,earthiness, and a hint of alcohol. However, I find myself craving more chocolate and roast. Blame the American in me. The flavor delivers on the aroma with a touch of tartness, grapes, juuuuust a dash of vinegar, green apples, earthy British malts, and more. And hurray, there’s a bit more of a chocolate and roasty touch going on beneath that as well. As it warms and I finish the glass, an element of salt/smoke presents itself as well. Pretty tasty for the style(s) and nice to drink.
